Tyre AnalysisCapture static or dynamic tyre footprint pressure patterns for tyre tread and performance analysis. Analyze tyre performance and tread to optimize tire designs and benchmark against competitive productsTyre manufacturers need to understand the changes of a tyre under various loads and applications to improve handling and response. This analysis tool provides insight for a better understanding of tyre design and how the tyre interacts with road surfaces. Analyzing a tyre footprint with pressure mapping allows engineers to see how they can improve their design. |

Tactile Grip Force and Pressure SensingThe Grip™ system measures and evaluates static and dynamic pressures from grasping objects. Grip measures interface pressure for human hand and finger gripping applications to assess comfort, design, and ergonomics. The system is used to improve design for a more ergonomically sound product, study carpal tunnel and repetitive motion syndrome, or analyze the human hold on various tools and sports equipment. It is an ideal tool for collecting vital information and insight to enhance product design, manufacturing, quality, and research. |

Windshield Wiper Pressure MappingUtilizing a tactile pressure sensor, the Wiper™ System measures wiper blade to windshield interface force profiles under various testing conditions. The Wiper system measures the force distribution along the entire length of the blade at different positions on the windshield, providing important insights to improve design. It is used as a research and development tool to improve blade and wiper system performance under different conditions such as “lift-off.” |
